FARM NOTES.

There are 200 OOO bushels of grain to be
threshed in Cassia County, Idaho, this sea-
son.
The farmers who fail to get in large
crop Of wheat early this fall will be kick
ing themselves all over the county next
harvest.-kinsley (Kdn.) -Nercury.
Water the team moderately four times O
day, and never within two hours after feed

Never before did such a change come
over droughtcursed region as has hap
pened here. Under the influence OF few
timely showers the straw-colored fields are
now sweet fields arrayed in living green"

There are able bodied men who might
earn good living, who, if they can, will
get trusted for groceries with the intent to
Gefraud, if possible, and when such a one
works for farmer he calculates to get
more in wages or provisions than he ex-
poets to pay fOr.-EIchange.
Many farmers say that they will not cut
up any corn this year, because the stalks
when left standing cause snow to drift on
the land and thoroughly wet it during the
winter. There is probably truth in this
theory, but it seems to the Reporter that no
farmer can afford to leave his corn stand
ing for this reason unless he is sure he will
have abundance of feed without the corn
fodder.-Hagler (Neb.) Reporter.
Being slightly tender, but requiring fre.
quent pruning or shortening back, peach
trees should be pruned carly in autumn
rather than later, SO that they may recover
from the wounds and the wood become
ripened and hardened before winter. Very
severe weather has q tendency to iniure
freshly pruned peach trees. 1t would be
better, however, if large wounds are to be
made. as in heading back old trees, to do
the work early in spring.
Half a dozen farmers have asked us
whether they should SOW wheat Our re-
ply is, yes, sow wheat Don't put every
thing into wheat, nor into any other one
crop. The farmer should have as many re-
sources as possible, SO il one fails others
will succeed. Every farmer OF 1GO acres
of plow land may reasonably SOW forty
acres Of wheat. Plow deep and drill in
east and west. The crop is almost as sure
as any and the income Is cash.-Junctiom
City (Kaa.) Tribune.
Owners of gardens often give special at
tention to their grounds early in the season
and get every thing fairly in good order,
but omit this care later in the season.
Weeds should be thoroughly eradicated in
the late summer and fall, before the seed
are ripe il they have not been kept down
while young. By promptly Graduating
them a numerous crop another year may
be prevented. Single plants Of some of our
common weeds, when they have full scope,
ripen several thousand seeds. and it is
economy to prevent it.
Rye is not only valuable for its grain and
straw, but it can not be excelled as crop
for late pasturage in the fall when other
green food is scarce, while it also grows
early in the spring and enables stock to Sc
cure green food before any thing makes a
start. When other grasses begin to come
in the rye can be permitted to mature, and
q crop Of grain and straw harvested. RYE
can never be made to usurp the place of
wheat and oats as q grain crop except on
light sandy soils, but as q combined crop.
affording grain, straw and convenient graz
ing, it has an important place which no
other crop can fill.
